A5: I think it's more important that children see themselves reflected positively within society. All people are important, and all people, no matter race, gender, or socio economic standing still go through the emotions of fear, love, frustration, anger, and yearning. #NJLibChat

Q5: Reflect on this statement:
"If children never see themselves reflected in literature, they receive the message that they are
not important to society." #NJLibChat

@doclestat24 Very good point

[Casey Alchermes @casey_alchermes]

I would check the reliability of the author. An author from any background can produce a great culturally diverse piece of literature, however they must do the proper research to make it accurate. #NJLibChat

@MsHanley_OTHS That's a great point about the families that don't have money. I always forget that is why libraries were formed, for free public education.

A2: Culturally diverse children's books are important to have because; 1) The ethnic population of our schools are changing and we need to be sure we meet the needs of all students. 2) They help students from all backgrounds understand different types of literature #NJLibChat

It gives students a different perspective of how diverse people perceive the world. This also opens their minds to new experiences, and allows them become a well rounded global citizen #NJLibChat

I'm wondering what all educators most admire about Twitter? #EDTC627F22

[Casey Alchermes @casey_alchermes]

@DrPammMoore So very important to know when to step away and live your life.

@SamanthaBahna @Ca_Baggett @NJCUEdTech If you're referring to what I've personally posted on TPT, nothing as of yet. I do have several Google Docs and Slides that help teach anything ELA.#EDTC627F22

[Casey Alchermes @casey_alchermes]

@SamanthaBahna Ask for a note signed and dated from the HT, just to prove the student isn't lying. Then hope the student is gone long enough for the period to be over. All else fails, lock door while student is out. #EDTC627F22

[Casey Alchermes @casey_alchermes]

@Ca_Baggett @SamanthaBahna @NJCUEdTech @STEMEduc @STEMWomen @codeorg I agree with you. I have sworn off Facebook for awhile, and am finding Twitter filling the void, but in a professional way. #EDTC627F22 @ca_bagget

@scotttbrennan1 @SamanthaBahna @NJCUEdTech It can have surprisingly cool things. Science teachers made origami DNA that decorated their classrooms all year. #EDTC627F22 #Pinterest

@SamanthaBahna @EdTech_Bailey @NJCUEdTech I was originally a nayer. I prefer to find and make my own teaching material as well, however I am finding more inspiration and modifying than actually using it. @EDTC627F22

[Casey Alchermes @casey_alchermes]

@EdTech_Bailey @SamanthaBahna @NJCUEdTech This would be a great way to help teach mybstudents sentence structure. Thank you Douglas!! @edtech_Bailey @Edtc627f22
